Bug#315717: gnome-applets: gnome-keyboard-applet doesn't switch keyboard layouts

Package: gnome-applets
Version: 2.10.1-3
Severity: important

I have two keyboard layouts---US English and Swedish---configured in
gnome-keyboard-applet. However, when clicking on the applet, nothing
happens. Sometimes I can get it to switch layout by opening the
properties window and removing and re-adding a layout, but, even then,
usually the layout that it shows is not the one that is really
active. (When it says "us," the keyboard layout is actually set to
Swedish and vice versa.)

This problem started with the upgrade to GNOME 2.10 in unstable.

Thanks,
Andreas
